What do houses that are for sale in Stevenage and Newbury have in common – not just with each other but with lots of other places as well?

They are, apparently, all in a “sought after and convenient location within easy reach of local amenities and public transport links”.

As spotted on emoov at the weekend – and that’s just a very small sample displayed conveniently below.

Although in its defence, we don’t suppose there are many agents who would describe a property as being in an unpopular and inconvenient location, miles away from any amenities or public transport, plus you have to cross three ring roads to get to them.

Even if true.
